SYNTRON ® Electromagnetic Vibrators V-50 and V-51 Series Thank you for purchasing your equipment from Syntron Material Handling. This manual will help you to understand how your equipment operates and what is required to maintain peak performance. Please read it thoroughly and keep it on file for reference. Your satisfaction is important to us, so please direct any comments to our Marketing Communications department. INTRODUCTION Syntron V-50 and V-51 Electromagnetic Vibrators produce a pattern of pulsating vibrations which penetrate a material mass, agitating the particles and keeping them in a free-flowing condition. If the vibrator has a separate control, a rheostat within the control allows the vibrator stroke to be controlled. Vibrators with built in controls do not provide for control of vibrator stroke. NOTE: If the vibrator is installed on a hopper, do not operate the vibrator while the hopper is closed because the vibrating action will compact the hopper contents. Syntron Material Handling recommends a maximum operating temperature of 200F (93C). INSTALLATION Vibrator models V-50-D1, V-50-D1S, V-51-D1, and V-51-D1S are designed for mounting in any position EXCEPT AN UPRIGHT, HORIZONTAL POSITION. Models V-50-D and V-51-D are designed for mounting in an UPRIGHT HORIZONTAL POSITION ONLY. Refer to Figure 1. The base plates are provided with Two 11/16-inch diameter mounting holes positioned at 9-1/4-inch centers (V-50-A1 mounting holes are on 9-1/2-inch centers) Check these bolts for tightness at frequent intervals. If the mounting surface is uneven, the unit must be shimmed to assure a flush mounting. Refer to Figure 2 for a typical installation on a conical-shaped hopper. The recommended size of mounting bracket is 11 inches by 10 inches. The bracket must be of sufficient strength and weight so that the mounting surface will not deflect when the vibrator is in operation.

Contact the factory for further assistance. DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY PROCEDURE (refer to the parts illustration) 1. De-energize the unit. Remove the armature stop assembly (M). Remove the remainingportion of the

vibrator from its operating position. 2. If necessary, remove the magnet assembly (C) and the cable assembly (B) from the armature stop

assembly (M). 3. Remove the base plate (K). 4. Remove the impact blocks (G and H) and shims (J). The body assembly (D) has been factory assembled and must be replaced as a single unit. To reassemble the vibrator, reverse the 4-step procedure outlined above. TORQUE VALUES ITEM PART NO. FT LB (Nm) ITEM PART NO.

SEPARATE CONTROL The V-50 and V-51 Series Vibrators, with the exception of models V-50-D1s and V-51-D1S, require a separate control to control vibrator output. The control contains a double-pole, single-throw switch with ON and OFF positions to start and stop the vibrator; a rheostat to control vibrator stroke; a rectifier that changes alternating current to pulsating current; and fuses and terminals. The control should be installed close to the vibrator, preferably on a wall in a clean, dry, vibration-free location.

WARNING: Keep the control door closed when the vibrator is in operation. Refer to the wiring diagram in the control service manual. Check the operating current to ensure

that it matches the nameplate rating. If rigid conduit is used, provide at least 18 inches of flexible cable between the vibrator and the conduit. The vibrator is equipped with a 3-wire cable, one of which is ground. The separate control box is provided with a ground connection to which the vibrator should be connected.

WARNING: Be sure that the control box is properly connected to an efficient ground.

MAINTENANCE V-50 and V-51 Series Vibrators require very little maintenance. The vibrator and control should be kept relatively clean and free from excessive moisture.

WARNING: If striking occurs, immediately de-energize the unit.

Excessive wear to the armature stop ring will cause the armature to strike the core, causing damage to the vibrator. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 2 for instructions.
